The mighty Logitech MX Master mouse

Logitech has always been in the lead with designing new high-end mice. Their new product, the MX Master, has been called “The Precision Instrument for Masters of their craft” and it is considered by many to be one of the best computer mouse’s ever created!

Yes, the MX Master mouse has kind of an alien spaceship design, its sculpted shape makes it your hands new best friend and the sharp edges and thumb rest area have some cool, artsy elements going on.

But, this mouse isn't some redone old model. The MX Master has a redesigned scroll wheel, which adapts to your speed as you use it. So, if you scroll down slowly, it will tick buy one point at a time… but, if you scroll quickly, the wheel will disengage and allow you to scroll quickly to the bottom of long pages and documents.

One of the really cool features it has is the ability to wirelessly pair it with three different systems at once, using a little button on the side called the Easy-Switch to change which platform you’re inputting to at any one time. The battery life is said to last up to forty days and can recharge enough to give you a full day’s worth of usage in just four minutes!

Another impressive feature is the MX Master’s “Darkfield Laser” sensor, which Logitech claims can track the mouse flawlessly, even on glass. It can be really frustrating when a mouse can’t track over glass very well, which means you have to use a less-than-optimal piece of paper like a magazine or other solid object.

After you install the Logitech mouse software, you can change the settings to how you would prefer them. There is a range of customization options available, from changing the direction of the scroll, speed of the mouse, sensitivity and the option to swap the left and right click buttons.

For a lot of us, a mouse is just a mouse – just a tool to control the cursor on your screen. That may be true, but once you've used a programmable mouse, you won’t be able to go back to a basic one.

The mighty MX Master mouse is about as perfect as a wireless computer mouse can get! And a great mouse, like a great ergonomic or mechanical keyboard or high-quality web cam is definitely an investment. The MX Master may seem a bit pricey, but it is worth every single penny, especially if you are a professional who works with computers all day long!
